Chapter 538 The Apple of His Eye
The words “sleeping in separate rooms” pisses Yi Yunrui off!
“No! No way! Forget it!”
Her husband’s anxiety delights Xia Ning. However, she does not show it, “For the benefit of our baby, it’s the only way out. Dear, just rough it...”
“I said no!” With this, Yi Yunrui takes his little wife in his arms and holds her close to him. And then he turns off the bedside lamp, ordering, “Quit it! Go to sleep!”
Sleeping in separate rooms? He would rather die than do that!
Even two strangers will get used to sleeping on the same bed after so many years, not to mention that his little wife is the apple of his eye.
They cannot be separated! Not even for one second!
Behind Xia Ning are Yi Yunrui’s overwhelming and gentle breaths, which encircle Xia Ning and warm her.
But her heart aches at the thought of the business card.
What is it all about?
She wants to ask him about it, but his steady breathing shows that he has fallen asleep.
He must have worked his ass off in the military region. Though he shows no trace of weariness, it is easy to imagine how hard he works.
If Yi Yunrui focuses on one woman, will it be that she doesn’t do either well?
Or are there some other reasons?
The more Xia Ning thinks about it, the more upset she feels. Finally, she takes a deep breath and decides to bring up the topic when he is free.
Women always worry too much. Not until they get to the bottom of something can they be relieved.
A band of light glows in through the windows. Jing Shu has prepared breakfast. Actually, her mom wakes up earlier than her. The old always sleep less.
After serving her mother breakfast, Jing Shu takes a look at the time and sees that it is half past seven in the morning. It is time to send her to the Elderly Social Center.
It is a place of entertainment for the elderly and there are also volunteers there. Considering her mom’s present state, Jing Shu thinks that her mom had better engage in more socializing.
At noon, she takes her mother home for lunch after work and sends her back in the afternoon. In fact, she is considering hiring a nurse to take care of her mother.
The nurse must be devoted and excellent. She can’t stop worrying about her mother.
Seeing that there are lots of aged people at the Elderly Social Center and some volunteers come over to talk to her enthusiastically once they see them, Jing Shu is quite relieved.
It is about eight. Enjoying the warm sunlight in the early morning, Jing Shu takes a deep breath...
Suddenly, an idea floats into her mind.
She picks up her phone and calls Zhang Hai, “Zhang Hai, when will you send Sister Xia back to the press?”
“I’ll arrive at the military region at half past eight. What’s wrong?”
Jing Shu presses her lips, asking, “Have you had breakfast?”
“Yeah, I can have breakfast in the military region.”
“...” Zhang Hai’s words upset Jing Shu. She has an urge to ask Zhang Hai out for breakfast, “Oh... I see. Well, nothing else.”
Sensing Jing Shu’s voice is odd, Zhang Hai feels strange, wondering, “Shu, what’s the matter? What ails you?”
“No... no.” Jing Shu’s heart misses a beat and then she hastily denies it. She adds, “There’s nothing else. Bye.”
After that, Jing Shu hangs up the phone and lets out her breath in a long sigh.
She adores the soldier Zhang Hai and she has no idea when she falls in love with him.
But it is obvious that Zhang Hai is not smart enough to sense it. He still considers her as a friend.
To a certain degree, it can be said that Jing Shu is not so important to Zhang Hai...
Jing Shu bites her lower lip and shakes her head, trying to forget those unpleasant feelings in her mind. She should be in high spirits in the morning. A bad mood can have a bad influence on work efficiency.
Just at that moment, she gets a call, which is from Xia Ning.
The call is like a dose of dope, which is so refreshing. A voice hoots at the other end of the line, “Sister Xia, good morning!”
Xia Ning smiles slightly as Jing Shu’s exuberance delights her, “Morning, Shu. Deputy Editor Leng is on leave, so you will probably be busy lately. Be prepared.”
“OK, got it! Rest assured, Sister Xia. I’m always ready.”
Leng Weiwei was pretty high last night. When she wakes up the next morning, it is already after nine.
Ten years of working in World Era Weekly has made her get used to getting up at about seven in the morning, which has become her habit. It is the first time that she gets up this late.
“Morning.”
A gentle voice whispers in her ear. Leng Weiwei turns her head and meets Yi Yuntian’s eyes full of smile.
Sunlight bathes his face, making it even more outlined and enchanting.
Her heart involuntarily misses a beat, adoring the man whose looks are beyond comparison.
“Oh...” No sooner has Leng Weiwei felt amazed than her head aches. She strokes her forehead and the hangover discomforts her.
“You’d better stay at home today. I’ll help you ask for leave.” With that, Yi Yuntian draws out his phone.
Leng Weiwei immediately snatches Yi Yuntian’s phone, saying, “No need. I can set off a bit later.”
She does not need to go to work at all lately, so she doesn’t need to ask for leave!
Yi Yuntian feels there is something wrong, but he can’t tell it. And then he gives a shrug of his shoulders and leaves the room. In moments, he brings over some food.
It is hot meat porridge and some steamed stuffed buns.
Yi Yuntian puts the food down, saying, “I’m not quite good at boiling things. I let my assistant buy those for you. You spat out a lot last night and must be hungry. Just have some of it.”
Leng Weiwei’s stomach aches, but she knows that she has to eat something anyway. Thus, she nods, throws back the covers, and gets out of bed, preparing to wash up. But the moment she prepares to stand up, a sudden dizziness overcomes her.
Seeing that, Yi Yuntian reaches out and hugs her in his arms, asking, “Where are you going?”
“Wash up...”
“Don’t move. I’ll carry you there.” With this, Yi Yuntian lifts Leng Weiwei up meticulously and walks to the bathroom.
After entering the bathroom, Yi Yuntian gently puts Leng Weiwei onto a chair beside him. And then he goes to bring over a toothbrush, smears some toothpaste on it, and hands it over to Leng Weiwei, saying, “Sit here and brush your teeth. Don’t stand up.”
Seeing the toothbrush and the mug in Yi Yuntian’s hands, Leng Weiwei feels warm.
But a thought suddenly flashes into her mind, cooling her down, “Was this the way you took care of your ex-girlfriends before?”
Yi Yuntian raises his eyebrows, replying, “Generally, I left before they woke up.”
And he always leaves a check.
Leng Weiwei presses her lips. It turns out that President Yi favors one-night stands.
Her heart sinks. She knows very well what kind of person Yi Yuntian is the moment after she gets the task and the moment she and Yi Yuntian come to an agreement.
Yi Yuntian is a complete womanizer.
“Weiwei? What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing...” She replies, taking the toothbrush and the mug handed over by Yi Yuntian. And then her heart is softened when she sees Yi Yuntian put a basin on the ground.
As for love, she has grown cynical. She believes that she will not easily fall in love with someone, but now...
Looking at Yi Yuntian, she dimly hears a voice in her heart telling her what to do.
It tells her that she shouldn’t have feelings for the man in front of her.
She will be doomed once falling in love with such a dangerous man.
She is heading for hell and she can’t stop.
Leng Weiwei bites her lower lip and blinks, trying to forget those annoying things.
“Weiwei, I need to leave in a couple of minutes and may probably return at night. Where do you want to have dinner tonight?”
“Whatever.”
“...” Yi Yuntian slightly squats, saying, “Babe, don’t say the word whatever while being with me, OK?”
“It’s up to you.” She is not familiar with it anyway.
Yi Yuntian looks at her in silence. It bothers Leng Weiwei and she looks away.
Yi Yuntian watches her brush her teeth and then hands her a towel soaked in hot water. After she finishes washing up, he lifts her up with his big hands and carries her back to the bedroom.
“I’ve saved a number on your phone. It is a renowned cook who can offer both home service and take-out. Don’t walk around as you are not feeling well. Oh, by the way, there’s milk and fruit in the fridge. Finish your breakfast and have some of it later.”
Actually, he is going to make some hangover-cure soup for her. But he is not assertive in his cooking skills, so he thinks he’d better perfect his cooking first.
Leng Weiwei is drinking porridge, eating steamed stuffed buns, and listening to Yi Yuntian. The man has been exceptionally vigorous in work these days, but he is so garrulous today, which proves that one must not look only at the surface of things.
Yi Yuntian feels that Leng Weiwei does not reply to him at all, so he slightly winces, “Babe, are you listening?”
“Cough!” Leng Weiwei takes a napkin and wipes her mouth with it, replying, “Yeah, I got it. By the way, call me Weiwei.” The word babe discomforts her.
“No.” Yi Yuntian bends over, rubbing her face, continuing, “Anyone can call you Weiwei, but only I can call you babe. Keep that in mind.”
Leng Weiwei’s heart misses a beat and her hands holding the spoon slightly twitches.
Leng Weiwei’s every move is sensed by Yi Yuntian. He slightly smiles.
He knows better than anyone that she adores him.
She seems to be a cold fish, but she is a woman after all.
She will know how much he loves her one day.
Though he has prepared himself for the long-term battle.
Yi Yuntian’s eyes soften and then he scoops up Leng Weiwei’s face, pecking her on the forehead, “Dear, I’m leaving now. I’ll call you later.”
While Leng Weiwei is still stunned, Yi Yuntian stands up, walks a few steps, and then looks back at Leng Weiwei as if he thinks of something, “Remember not to miss me too much, babe. Bye!”
Leng Weiwei’s mouth twitches. Seeing Yi Yuntian’s tall and slim figure, she itches to fling a pillow at him.
Gosh, what a narcissistic man!
No sooner has Xia Ning entered the chief editor’s office than an inviting smell of coffee wafts into her nose. Jing Shu puts a glass of hot milk on her desk, greeting, “Morning, Chief Editor Xia!”
“Morning.” Xia Ning nods, sitting down.
Milk has become her everyday diet recently, but she does not get tired of it. She will never say no to the snow-white fragrant nutrition.
Xia Ning scoops up the cup. Just at that moment, her phone rings. Seeing the familiar number, Xia Ning slightly knits her brows.
